More than 700 arrested in Wall Street protest

Show me something that occurred during the tea party protests and I'll be proven wrong.

It was already done, in response to your posts, but you have already proven that there's no benefit to explaining things to people who are determined to deny the truth. You won't even admit your using race in this thread, even though you were quoted doing so.

Your dishonesty is stunningly pathetic

We have recent evidence that there is open racism at the OWS, on this thread in fact, while there was no demonstration of racism during the tea party protests.

I'm not the only one who quoted you pulling a race card. So did Thunder, and I see you're trying hard to pretend you never saw his post

Bush? It's been all Obama all the time for over three years!!

Hasn't Bush yet become stale dated?

Re-elect Obama and in seven years, and $40 trillion in debt, and the Leftists will still be blaming Bush.

Ah, so that makes it official.

Mentioning Affirmative Action, even though my question to Boo involved corporations and not race, is still playing the race card, is it?

You must be from Detroit.

Bush signed the legislations that allowed Obama to do what you are complaining about.

And you're still trying to pretend you didn't pull out the race card, and then whined when someone challenged you

Denying your own words is pathetic

Grant clearly played the race-card, and it was very poorly played.

The rightwingers depend on disingenuity. There's a whole lot of reality they have to deny in order to have something to post about.

But denying his own words is truly as pathetic as it gets. He can't even respond to the fact that you quoted him and proved him wrong. He has to pretend it never happened.

I think the Obama administration has done a great disservice too the American people by getting involved with big corporations and using public money to do so. It is the scandal of the age, the worst in American history, and will someday be recognized as such. An investigation should be started immediately.

The idea that a President could pour billions of tax dollars into a huge variety of companies and corporations, with little public oversight, would have been unthinkable not all that long ago. Now the American people are many trillions of dollars in debt with absolutely nothing to show for it, and no way of paying it back. It is a disgrace.

This is not a new idea. Both parties have done so in the past. And coporate welfare has been the norm and not the exception. if this bothers you, you should have been bothered for a long, long time.
 
Occupy Wall Street May Be Too Big to Fail

"It's not just Occupy Wall Street anymore.

According to occupytogether.org, there are Occupy events currently running or planned for the month of October in over 1400 cities across the globe, and in approximately 400 cities in 48 states across America. This is proof that Occupy Wall Street is growing, not only in its numbers, but in its ability to spread its message to as many Americans as possible in an attempt to end the financial manipulation of our government by those who bastardize the freedoms and ideals of the United States of America.

Seattle mayor Mike McGinn became one of the first political figures to not only address the Occupy Seattle protest, but also to publicly sympathize with their right to protest, as well as the actual cause at hand.

From McGinn's official statement:

I support the efforts of the protesters at Westlake Park to address this country's economic situation. In my budget speech last week, I stated:

"We are facing unprecedented inequality in this country. It is always true that bad times are harder on the poor. But we have not seen income inequality this great since 1928, the year before the Great Depression started. The top 1 percent control 34 percent of the nation's wealth. The top 10 percent control 2/3rds of the nation's wealth. It is an unprecedented grab by the most powerful to get a bigger share of a shrinking pie."

I also support the right to protest, and I support the right to protest at Westlake Park. Individuals and groups are welcome to continue exercising free speech rights."

Does Romney's affiliation with Mormonism make you believe that he can not be elected President?

His being a Mormon makes me wonder if he can win the primary.

I don't know if it would have any bearing on the general election.

So it is acceptable now, as well as the accompanying debt, because it has been acceptable in the past?

Corruption has always bothered me but it seems some have learned to live with it.
 
I find this interesting as well.
Do 'Occupy Wall Street' Protests Represent Your Views Of The Economy? | Fox News

Fox news has been running a constant smear campaign (to be fair Laura Ingram of all people defended the protests last night) but it's been portrayed as the Woodstock of the new generation rather than a legitimate complaint.

Still, a lot of vistitors to Fox News websites agree with the idea behind the protests. It's remarkable.

LOL!!

So it's the fault of George Bush that Barrack Obama has been investing tax dollars in a variety of corporations because George Bush said he could. Apparently HBO is responsible for nothing and he's acting accordingly.

As one who keeps seeing these OWS topics, I'm curious as to what they seem to be after.

It is interesting though that there's such a difference between them and the TP in regards to trash and arrests.

Should partial blame be placed on Bush for signing horrible legislation? Of course. Why shouldn't he?

Solyndra is 100% Obama's baby. Bush's fault is in signing the stupid law that allowed him to blow a half billion dollars.

Yes. These folks are right about corporate greed and what's happening to the little guy. 69.34% (138,831 votes)

Oh, i agree that both parties are to blame but the American people are pointing their fingers and protesting against each other rather than demanding reform from their governments.

Why march on Wall Street when the problem is in Washington?
 
...irony.

Does that mean that the Left now feels that Fox is an accurate middle of the road news source?

...liberal typically agree with FOX if they make a claim they agree with, otherwise, it's an evil media center.

...the oppsite is true with conservatives that cite CNN/MSNBC/NBC.

Somebody once signed a law that allows me to use a hammer, but that does not mean that I can blame it on the law if I use the hammer to smash the skulls of the ignorant.
